Snug Web Server allows you to host
your own Website(s), thus cutting down on cost and allowing you
complete control. It includes support for ISAPI Filters
and Extensions, CGI applications, SSI (Server Side Includes)
scripting and much more. The Snug Web Application Manager allows
you to run external servers such as Tomcat for JSP pages and
DotNet aspx pages.
Snug Web Server supports DotNet web applications.

Virtual
Paths:
Your domains can support virtual paths e.g. http://www.cipherserver.com/cgi-bin/
and http://www.snugserver.com/cgi-bin/
can both point to the came directory on your server. Using the
Web Application Manager you can have http://www.snugserver.com/tomcat/
point to your Tomcat server for JSP files or indeed any other
server application you have written that supports the HTTP
protocol.
The Web Application Manager allows you to:
- Run many web applications, all being
directed through port 80.
- Place multiple web servers or web services on the same IP
Address.
- If you work with SOAP Services,
you can use SnugServer to help with the maintenance of the soap
servers.
You can place web services on multiple internal/external
servers, even though it looks like just one server. This will
allow you to start and stop services without interfering with the running of SnugServer.
The
following diagram explains how this works:
MIME:
The Snug Web Server must
tell the browser what type of file is to be displayed e.g. tiff,
gif, jpeg etc. When the browser receives HTML it can display
that itself, however, if it is sent a file of type tiff etc. it
must use an external viewer to display this MIME type.
Snug Web Server allows you to add MIME types that it can
display.
Extension Mappings:
This allows you to map file extensions to runner
applications e.g. 'php' can be mapped to the PHP ISAPI dll.
Pages with an extension of PHP will be executed by the PHP ISAPI
interface.
